Terry Walters’ new book, Clean Food.
Walters advises us that food is about much more than subsistence, and her book reaches beyond protein, carbohydrate and fat calories to embrace both our nutritional and emotional health and wellness. Beyond targeting issues of health, she recognizes that food has become as much a political issue as a nutritional one, writing, “Our produce departments and grocery shelves are lined with unknowns – pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones, chemical additives and process upon process, stripping our food of its inherent nutritional value. Behind each glass of milk or piece of meat is an agenda, a lobbyist, a Fortune 500 company, a distribution chain, a processing plant…you need to squint to see the farmer and you need binoculars to find the cow!”
Professionally, I'm an IT Engineer (Executive Level) and Electronics Tech. Philosophically, I'm a Green Conservative, leaning towards Libertarian, and may have been a hippie in the 60's if I had been old enough. I live off grid, with Solar (PV), Wind, veggie oil fueled diesel generator power, veggie Chevy Suburban and have been teaching and living sustainable technology for over 10 years.
